The opening image is a dramatic and cinematic still from the movie, featuring a character in the foreground against a snowy landscape with a large fire burning in the background. The high-contrast lighting and intense atmosphere immediately capture attention and establish the post's high-quality, film-focused topic.

Steal this for your own video
A dramatic still from — in the foreground, in the background. This is what actually looks like.
- — A dramatic still from a war epic — a soldier in silhouette in the foreground, a burning village in the background. This is what practical lighting on a $200M budget actually looks like.
- — A dramatic still from a horror film — a figure mid-scream in the foreground, a pitch-black void in the background. This is what negative space composition actually looks like.
- — A dramatic still from a nature documentary — a lone subject in the foreground, a storm-lit sky in the background. This is what color contrast storytelling actually looks like.

WIDE CLOSE-UPS
informational · photo_1
This technique is a staple of Emmanuel Lubezki's cinematography. He uses this to give you a personal look into the character while still showing the environment around them. It also just creates a really unique image.

COLOR CONTRAST
informational · photo_2
You're going to find this technique in every movie but there are some really beautiful examples here from Lubezki. The combo of the blue sky with the fire below is perfect. Even the idea of the sparks going into the sky is a really cool reminder that color contrast comes naturally in the world.

NATURAL LIGHTING
informational · photo_3
This film was shot primarily in the woods obviously so most of these shots are just using natural light and shaping it with some bounce or negative fill. Given that this is such an incredible film, it really shows that you don't need a bunch of lights to shoot something this beautiful.

WIDE ANGLE LENSES
informational · photo_4
In addition to the wide angle close-ups, just in general the use of wide angle lenses is synonymous in Lubezki's work. It allows him to get insane shots of the environment and incredible shots of a whole scene.

DEEP DEPTH OF FIELD
informational · photo_5
While a lot of people would say that a shallow depth of field (blurry background) is "cinematic" Lubezki opts for a deep depth of field to really show the surroundings of the character and then shoots with a shallower depth of field for more intense moments.

IMMERSIVE CAMERA MOVEMENT
informational · photo_6
It's pretty impossible to show you just how immersive the camera movements are when we're referring to frames so I'd encourage you to just go watch the movie for yourself. It's a huge part of this film.
